Junts launches an order to the PSOE hours before voting on the amnesty
The parliamentary partners of the coalition government have taken advantage of their interventions during the debate on the Amnesty Law this Tuesday in Congress to attack judges investigating cases linked to the
process
with names and surnames . The PSOE itself had already denounced this Monday that every time another step is taken to erase the crimes of those prosecuted for the illegal independence referendum in Catalonia in 2017, one of them "makes a move."
The first to criticize members of the Judiciary was the spokesperson for Junts, Miriam Nogueras. In a very harsh intervention, the representative of Carles Puigdemont's party has pointed directly to the judges of the National Court Manuel García-Castellón and the Investigative Court number 1 of Barcelona Joaquín Aguirre, responsible for investigating, respectively, the case opened against Tsunami Democràtic and the Russian plot of the 1-O
Volhov case
.
"Today they are going after us, but tomorrow it could be you," Nogueras warned the PSOE and PP during his speech. "Today is not an easy day but as long as we Catalans are not free, we will continue fighting," he added, implying that his vote for the Amnesty Law will ultimately be against.
From Sumar, the minority party in the Government, Gerardo Pisarello has also harshly attacked Judge García-Castellón, whom he has called "partial" and whom he has ruled that "deserves to be accused of prevarication or directly recused" in the investigations that affect the independence movement.
The Catalan deputy has ridiculed this open case against Tsunami Democràtic and the steps that the judge of the National Court is taking as being the consequence of an "outburst" and "patriotic ardor." In Pisarello's opinion, this "judge blind to the corruption of the PP" has now begun to see "retrospective terrorism" with the advance of the amnesty in Congress and developing "large telepathic doses" for this purpose, when he had the law "sleeping the night." dream of the righteous" for four years.
"With party judges willing to do anything, even to twist the law, there is no possible legal security," Pisarello concluded.
Regarding Podemos, Martina Velarde has expressly pointed out Judge García-Castellón as a representative of the "judicial right" and the "
lawfare
" (judicial dirty war). The
purple
deputy has called for "unity" in the face of a "savage judicial offensive against the amnesty law" that, in her opinion, will be unleashed in the "coming months."
Thus, he has asked "all democrats" to "oppose that in this country the reactionary sector of the Judiciary and Judge García-Castellón are more in charge than Parliament." He has also maintained that there are judges "passing through dossiers" to see how to break the law.
ERC, for its part, has stated that the judges are "inventing" the crimes. Deputy Pilar Vallugera has accused them of "prevaricating" and has ruled: "There was no terrorism, there was no betrayal."
EH Bildu's speech has moved along the same rails. Jon Iñarritu has assured that there are "dark movements" in the judicial field that are "coordinated and organized." The deputy has joined the accusation of prevarication against the judges.
